About Me

Hey! I'm 28, and come from a beautiful spot in the mountains in North Wales. I'm currently volunteering at a refugee camp in Greece, and will soon be moving to France to learn French.

I'm a keen rock climber, and have been lucky enough that it's taken me to some beautiful parts of the world.

Scuba diving has been a new favorite over the past few years. I love being underwater and am so grateful to be lucky enough to have seen some incredible thing- playful nursing sharks, manatees, manta and eagle rays definitely being my favorites so far! I hope to do my dive master in the near future, but before that I'm gonna treat myself to a prescription mask!

I'm a keen hiker although my knees are now suffering after a two week long hiking trip, that took me over 250km/155miles. The scenery was incredibly diverse, and I must admit I enjoyed being out of signal for the duration of the hike!

I'm a keen surfer, although I'm actually really terrible at it. Despite living in Australia, and going on many, many surf trips, there is no excuse as to why I'm so bad!

In the past few year I followed my craziest dream so far and bought a little sailboat, which I lived on for the last few years. Throughout the process so far I've learned to sail, learned electrical systems, interior design, and how to maintain and fix an engine. So if anyone has any trouble with very specific diesel engines from the 80s, I'm your gal!

I love traveling and have spent most of my life working hard at various jobs in order to explore as many new places as possible!

I will be based in France hopefully for the next year, but am keen to get out and about to explore more of this side of the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people! It's a nicer way to travel and visit new places when you have good company when you arrive!
I love the idea of making connections and would love to keep in contact, and have you to stay if you find yourself wherever I end up.

Interests

Started sailing a few years ago, and now have around 500 nautical miles under my belt.
Love rock climbing, my favorite being trad! although sport and bouldering are also cool.
I love scuba diving and am hoping to do my dive master soon.
I'm an enthusiastic surfer, although I'm not very good at it!
I am almost always outside as I love being in the sun!
Just finished a 250km hike which took 12 days and was beautiful!
I travel as much as possible to as many places as I can in the time I have.
I love meeting new people and learning more about different cultures, I would like to travel more!

Music, Movies, and Books

Grew up listening to Greenday with my dad, and Nora Jones with my mam so pretty much love all music! Jack Johnson is my all time favorite though!

Am a sucker for the book Wuthering Heights and the classics, but enjoy reading most things.

Love loads of movies and TV shows, but have definitely watched the same handful of them waaaay too many times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved halfway across the world, and bought a sailboat to live on!
